Thanks everyone. I got confused (easily done!) by the dictionary entries for controlKeyDown:
"On Windows systems <http://glossary/w/535.xml>, a control key combination<http://glossary/k/255.xml>sends a commandKeyDown <http://dictionary/message/1616.xml> message instead, and the *controlKeyDown* message <http://dictionary/keyword/1473.xml> is never sent. On Unix systems <http://glossary/u/512.xml>, the *controlKeyDown* message <http://dictionary/keyword/1473.xml> is sent only if Mod2 has been defined." I'm using a controlKeyDown handler on my Mac development box to handle what happens when the user presses control plus another character. What I'm trying to figure out is if I can have that same handler work on Linux and Windows and if so, which key on those platforms needs to be pressed to result in a controlKeyDown message being sent.
